unicorn meat

Follow Me on Pinterest Don’t know what to serve at your next picnic? Nothing says yum more than the meat of a mythical mythical animal.

Seeing a can of Unicorn Meat on offer, or surreptitiously stored amongst your other canned good, will give the unsuspecting quite the shock. Though what’s inside the can is not edible and certainly does NOT look like the photo to the right. Instead, the can contains a dismembered stuffed unicorn. Check it out in the photo, before, especially before giving this canned unicorn meat to a kid (lest you inadvertently send a young’un into years of therapy).
